In large swabs on Tomoe River paper the ink has some shading.
Writing samples:
Let's take a look at how the ink behaves on fountain pen friendly papers: Rhodia, Tomoe River, and Leuchtturm.

Vintage Mabie Todd Swan (flex nib)
Taroko Enigma notebooks (68gsm TR)
Dry time: 80 seconds
Water resistance: Low
Feathering: None
Show through: Medium
Bleeding: None
Other properties: low shading, no sheen, and no shimmer.
On 20 lb copy paper the ink had feathering in all nib sizes and some bleeding.

Blue is a little deeper than Diplomat Deep Blue. Click here to see the blue inks together.
Longer Writing:
I used a Pelikan M205 Petrol Marbled, with a medium nib on a Taroko Enigma notebook. The ink has an average flow.
Overall, this ink is ok but not great. It does have a long dry time, and it didn’t dry out any slower than the average ink like it’s advertised as.
